Construct five syllogisms that you find in Aquinas’ reasoning in the chapters assigned. Adhere to the outline below:
The first syllogism should concern that in which ultimate felicity consists for intellectual creatures.
The second and third syllogisms should concern the relationship between the divine substance and the human intellect and/or will.
The fourth and fifth syllogisms should concern the relationship between divine providence and secondary causes.
The syllogisms must follow the strict criteria for what a syllogism is, namely, two premises linked by a middle term, yielding a necessary conclusion. If you are confused by this, consult logic texts and if you are still confused, consult me directly. (One cannot claim to be a Master of Theology without having at least basic familiarity with the art and science of logic.)
The assignment is to be clear and concise and students will lose points for improper grammar, punctuation, and misspelling.
The assignment should be formatted per current CMOS and 100-150 words.
For each syllogism, reference the relevant chapter in the assigned reading, formatted in the current CMOS.
You may consult outside sources but do not rely on them for your argument or plagiarize.
The work should be written in an academic voice.
Reference will be forwarded by support.
